sweet

 

well, i went and tested it tonight, it's awesome! especially with the CAI, i'm hitting 9.5 psi. at redline, my turbo is screeming like it's the end of the world, i love it!



also, when i'm rolling at 40 mph and drop it to 2nd gear, all hell brakes loose! i feel like i just got shot out of a gun! this is too much fun, definitely worth $800.



i'm missing a few exhaust hangers, so there is a little rattle coming from the back, but other than that, too much fun.



also, my EGT is working great, i'm getting around 400o C at idle, 500 while driving, and 600 while driving on the highway at like 70 mph. i haven't had a good chance to watch it under full boost (b/c i've been watching my boost creep up to 10 psi ). i did glance once just after i shifted at redline and saw it was up near 700 deg C.



i mounted the sensor on the otherside of the DP about the same position at the 02 sensor.

 

10psi is safe boost, and they run good that way too

good, that's what i was wondering. i was hoping that with 93 octane and my CAI setup i would be safe at max boost of 10-10.5 psi



i guess my project for next summer will be wastegate port and boost control. and whatever else breaks in the mean time...

 

a ghetto way to check if its safe is to put a voltmeter on the afm and see what you get at wot. its a 5-0v sensor so you cann see if you've maxxed it out, or when you've maxxed it out

see if i maxed what out?

 

The new exhaust looks great! When I heard ILUVMY88CABRIO's car with the RB exhaust I was surprised how quiet it was. I guess I was expecting it to scream, but it sounded nice.

The downpipe thats on my TII looks just like that one. It's a 2.5" no namer.

 

racing beat exhausts are nice



10psi or under is good

 

thats awesome... i plan on picking up one next spring as my summer project next year.

 

looks sweet i want the RB exhasut sooo bad. you can get stock replacement hangers for 8 bucks a peice from mazdatrix.
